I am very interested in this as well. The site I’m working on, korealiberator.org, uses the drop down cats, but some of the cat names are long enough to cause the menu to extend off the page in FF/Mozilla, and causes the “Go” button to wrap under the menu in IE.
After extensive searches, several refs to using ‘select’ but I have no idea where or how to implement that.
If I knew where/what to edit in any of the core files, I’d give it a shot (and be ready to ftp the backup asap).
What I want to do – set the width of the drop down cats menu. This is what I have;
<h2>Categories</h2>
<form action=”<?php echo $PHP_SELF ?>”method=”get”>
<p style=”padding: 0px; margin: 0px;”> <?php dropdown_cats(); ?><input type=”submit” name=”submit” value=”GO”/></form>
This works, just looks terrible.
